Time is rollin' along

After our blowout on Saturday outside Anchorage, we spent a couple more nights at a campground, which we had stayed at before, in Palmer. Sunday they had an ice cream social which we went to and that was about it for Sunday. The decision was made to replace all four tires on the trailer, which we did on Monday. These 10 ply's should hold up better ( we hope). After the tire change, it was off to Denali, where the night was spent about 6 miles from the town. Tuesday morning we had hoped to see a demonstration of what Rangers do at the park, HOWEVER, the slide on the bedroom would not retract into the trailer and by the time we did that manually, we missed the demonstration. We went to the Visitor Center in the park and watched a great movie presentation on the park . The park itself actually turned out to be a bit of a disappointment after all the hype we had heard. There is much more scenery, which we enjoyed elsewhere, than we found there. The drive to the Denali area itself was very scenic and the town itself looked like a version of Collingwood with all the tour buses. We picked up a replacement roll or split pin to fix the broken one on the slide and fixed it last night ( Tuesday) after our arrival here are Fairbanks AK. We will have 21 hrs and 45 min of sun today. The sun sets at :45 am and rises at 3:00 am. We have driven just over 14,000 miles since we began.
